How did the designers of the poster mess up so bad and make a hot romance poster?
imo this poster sucks not because it's accidentally romantic but just because it's not that easy to visually parse
took me a solid second to figure out what the black void in the middle is, that robe is a weird color and texture that low key suggests camp 50s space adventure, the two actors hands are masculine and feminine but with the lighting and focus and everything you have to actually look at them to see it, etc etc etc
did you click through to bypass the stupid twitter cropping because the actual poster should not be hard to parse
without the cropping that dude is making a full on porn face there, so
still I'm like a third through imagining the scenes of the movie I imagined in my head from not clicking through, and that imagined movie is pretty good, gripping, thought-provoking. A bit slow at parts and some of the performances of the anciliary characters aren't that great but still a solid 4/5
I often feel quite down on my writing, because the standard against which I judge myself is the polished prose of people who write professionally. And, professionally, my writing is regularly subject to savage criticism.
But hoo boy, these student papers are reminding me of the fact that people don't fall out of the womb fluent in the written word and the median piece of prose is pretty dire.
I feel seen right now.
/writes another horrible paper for my professors/TAs to grade.

I'd guess at least a third of Americans that graduated High School are functionally illiterate and I think that's generous.
I have had a bit more wine than was the plan for a thursday
this is a really nice red, which I wasn't expecting
is this your emergency stash? or your smuggle wine?
oh I already drank my emergency stash - presciently, it turns out, because I got the answer for the test back yesterday!
real fast turnaround. Signed up for test saturday, tested monday, answer tuesday.
Edit: this means I am no longer in quarantine - which is not a general term for social distancing but a legal thing.
the smuggling plan was cancelled as I was at the wine monopoly asking what to buy - that was going to be just alcoholic grape juice in a box, from the sound of it. My friend in medical isolation is not a connoisseur.
this is my "do a pairing with spaghetti bolognese but don't bother like, googling, just guess" wine

oh no i didn't
yeah ok that makes way more sense
Yeah, I was about to agree that I couldn't immediately figure out the gender of the characters here. But without the cropping that is 100% a "these two are getting sexy in the past" poster.

I write my garbage here and like similar level in texts and chats with friends (in the other language) and that's really all the writing I ever do
writing reports with my fellow students is kind of annoying because like, come on. I mean they're not... they're not terrible, but then again it just reads so much like, well, clumsy high school writing
like with their knowledge of the field all I ask is that they be at my level or above and that is a small ask!
isolated plague victim friend also asked me to confirm if she had my details right and said the municipality was going to call me and tell me what I need to do know that a Close Contact has been confirmed to have corona
wait, really? I said
yeah they're not exactly fast, she said
I am genuinely really looking forward to that call
EDIT: because in the time it took them to get around to getting the details and then, presumably, getting around to calling me at some point, I have had time to... do all they'll ask me to do.
It's like coming back with a treatment plan after the coroner has packed up and gone home

that poster is weird because on first glance it looks like period costumes but when you look closer they’re actually modern

Querry and I spent way too long watching some Arabic drama that I'm pretty sure was about a couple of gay vampires, based entirely on the looks some of the characters were dramatically giving each other, because neither of us speaks any Arabic.

Also a big tentpole Harry Potter game really seems like someone is doing a fuckawful job at reading the room over at WB
The franchise has never been less popular, both critically and commercially
i mean games take a while to develop so presumably they started working on the process of getting it made idk late 2016 after fantastic beasts came out

Anyone 8-14, kids of the first Potter generation, are all in and love it.
Mom and dad are biting lots of knuckles and reading death of the artist philosophy. Myself included.
We're going to end up with ReaderGate aren't we.
Dont know what this means.
But probably?
Potter is like the touchstone for anyone in middle to high school right now and all the kids read and know the movies. Universal Potterland is one of the top vacations (and really cool when we went there).
Hard to cast that aside in an instant just because the original author needs to shut her fucking mouth.
I was old enough to miss Potter, but still saw the movies as movies and enjoy the story with my kid now.

4,936 different people have ridden this little .3 mile stretch of road near my apartment in the last however many years Strava has been tracking segments.
I’m now 4th all time, 2 seconds behind the best ever. This is my new dumbest mission.

my phone got really hot
no other apparent changes
why is this exciting?
Just in time for winter.

Masochism?
report language is just like, just number shit, passive voice*, past tense, you've read an official document before, like that, doneso
EDIT: or maybe even, you know how exam problems are written? do that x1000 and we're there baby.
EDIT2: *I don't actually know what this means just assuming this is the translation
you'd hope apple would have fixed this by now but they haven't

phone calls no longer take up the whole screen, chanus
phone?
calls?
i'm old but i'm still a human being
What we expected...but...

it wouldn't be so bad if my phone became unusable for a day or two

Maybe it's the case where if they don't put out a game every couple of years, they lose the rights to make them.

Find something else to read, don’t tie yourself up in knots with mental gymnastics

Warners has the Potter rights in perpetuity, I believe. It’s their IP.
Seriously. There are so many better books with more interesting characters, better writing, and less horrible authors.
Haha I still got it!
